One of the first gradients created with metallic micro-flake pigment, this work stood close to rejection. The transition was not smooth enough. The surface resisted refinement. For a moment, it seemed to fail.

Instead of discarding it, she intensified the process. Layer upon layer of paint was added, far beyond her usual restraint. The lustre remained intact. What emerged was a granular, almost sand like texture, shimmering yet unsettled.

“Sandstorm” carries the memory of near collapse. Its surface feels swept, as if colour itself were caught in motion. The gradient does not dissolve gently. It moves like wind driven particles, suspended between control and surrender.
